The Sister Cities Program is a non-profit citizen diplomacy network creating and strengthening partnerships between U.S. and international communities in an effort to increase global cooperation at the municipal level, to promote cultural understanding, and to stimulate economic development. SCI was formed in 1956 when President Dwight D. Eisenhower proposed to involve individuals and organized groups at all levels of society in citizen diplomacy, with the hope that personal relationships, fostered through sister city, county and state affiliations, would lessen the chance of future world conflicts. Santa Clarita is proud to be an active member in the SCI organization.
Santa Clarita Valley International Pageant
The Santa Clarita Valley International Program (SCVIP) has launched the Santa Clarita Valley International Pageant.
SCVIP is in search of bright young women to participate and vie for either the Miss and Miss Teen SCV International title.
The focus behind the Santa Clarita Valley International Pageant is to recognize and assist in the development of young women, showcase them as positive role models, and give them the extraordinary opportunity to help strengthen and foster SCVIP's goals in the global community.
Pageant winners will serve as ambassadors to Santa Clarita's two Sister Cities - Sariaya,
Philippines and Tena, Ecuador. As delegates to our international partners, these young women will gain a perspective on the importance of international affairs and diplomacy, and foster global awareness and responsibility.
All proceeds from this event will go towards the construction of a medical clinic in Sariaya, Philippines and medical missions in Tena, Ecuador.
Join us for this exciting Evening of Pageantry, Dinner, and Dancing on September 13, 2009.
